From PEG to CLEAT

When I first moved into this house and started collecting tools, I put up a peg board because I thought that’s all there was.Since I found LumberJocks, I saw that there were other organizing systems available that you can make yourself.I really liked the modular French Cleat system.I took down the peg board, cut some strips of 3/4” plywood with a 45 degree angle, screwed them to the studs and plugged the holes with leftover walnut, made a bunch of hangers and voila.I love the fact that as I hang more tools, I can slide things around to fit better or as I discover that I use a certain tool more than others I can place it at a better location.And you can see that you can put a lot more tools on a cleat system than a peg board.I even have my 12”x12”x9” hardwood scrap bin hanging from it.I love this system and once again, I never would have known of this type, if not for the great people at LumberJocks.Thanks for looking.

Looks good! One of the best shop projects I done in my shop to date. I am an organalization freak at times and this system lets me be in controle of what and where. I also love the fact if I need something to hang a new tool I just build what I want, and not have to run to the store and buy something else.
